Bearing in Assembly disappears in Drawing

Vagulus — Sat, 16 Dec 2017 22:43:45 GMT

In my Overbender project the IAM of the jackscrew includes the thrust bearing

It is still present when I explode things in an IPN (second from left)

but it disappears when the IPN is put in a drawing

Exploded view as drawing

You will note that it shows up in the Parts List and that the circlip (7) has moved to the Bearing Carrier (2) - sorry about the part name problem, I'll get on to that.

Why the difference between Presentation and Drawing?

I just opened your assembly and made the same presentation file you showed. When I made the drawing, the bearing did not show. Expanding the drawing browser, under the assemby you will notice that the AST Bearing is a showing as a surface part. Right click and make it visible and you are good to go.

Please note from my reply, I said to expand the "Drawing" browser not the assembly browser. The screen shot is taken from the drawing browser.
